Abstract (en)

[origin: US6994634B1] A portable golf practice device is disclosed that is easily transported by the golfer and simulates the response of natural turf when impacted by the club head during a golf swing. The device includes a base extension, which can be unfolded and slid under a platform thereon the golfer stands, for maintaining stability during use. The device includes a simulated turf surface fitted in a tray. The tray rests on a roller assembly positioned on a base member having a top surface sloping downward from the aft end to the forward end. When a golf ball placed on the simulated turf surface is struck by a golf club, the tray and the simulated turf surface are driven forward and downward along the slope. Means are provided to return the tray and the simulated turf surface to their original position.
